have been following the Pi progress this past year and think teh educational aspect is simply amazing.
i have a problem however in that I was thinking about offer Pi’s to my niece and nephews but I have zero computer knowledge so I am wont be able to help them. To buy them a Pi and have no one to teach them is kind of useless.

ive been looking at the educational aspect and while there are quite a lot of vidoes and tutorials, I have yet to see anything that could teach a child/adult how to do the most basic of things that someone with no computer skills cant do on his own that is comprehensive and follows a logical progression.
I think that the idea of having teachers/geeks teach everyone is too limited. You should be able to give a child a Pi and they should be able to use videos, online tutorial and such to follow a teaching plan.

your lessons are probably the best Ive for the total newbie and along wth your Pi packages that make buying all the necessary accessories does make a compelling case.
